Chapter 491

Daniel Marshall’s sharp gaze met his grandfather’s clear eyes directly.

Daniel also clearly saw that his grandfather was serious.

After a few seconds of silence, Daniel softly asked, “Grandpa, why are you suddenly thinking this way?”

Mr. Alexander Marshall spoke earnestly, “You two need a child, a child will be the bond between you. With a child, you will truly last, you will face your differences squarely.

For the child, you will be willing to compromise, or take a step forward, you will comprehend a different life, you will understand your limits.”

Daniel slightly lowered his eyes, picked up the teacup, and finished the tea in the cup.

Even though his grandfather just simply said a few words, Daniel’s heart was filled with mixed feelings, stirring up an inexplicable taste.

Can a child really keep Olivia Jenkins?

Would she willingly stay by his side?

Will the tragedy from five years ago not repeat itself?

Can his heartache really be eased?

Is everything really as simple as Grandpa said?

Daniel looked at Grandpa calmly and said in his deep voice, “We’re both very busy, I’m afraid we won’t have extra time to take care of children and family. Children should grow up in a loving atmosphere, not without the care of their parents. Olivia and I are not ready to become parents yet.”

“Is it you who aren’t ready, or is it Olivia who doesn’t want to have a child? Have you asked her opinion? Does she really not want to have a child? Have you given her that opportunity? No matter how busy you are, if you really want to, you can make it work. You can squeeze out the time. There can be mutual accommodation between people.”

Old Mr. Alexander took out an agreement and showed it to Daniel.

After a pause, the old gentleman continued, “In Joyful Hall, under the witness of our ancestors, I showed Olivia this agreement, and discussed it with her. Under such favourable conditions, she didn’t sign it, nor agreed to have a child.

But, as long as she agrees, no matter by what means, if she has your child, her child could get your grandmother’s shares. It shows that she does not want these, she does not have any sense of security in your marriage.

Daniel, think about it. Olivia is not a greedy woman, perhaps what she wants is very simple. Charmy and the child have been dead for many years, it’s not your fault, it’s time to let go of the knot in your heart.”

Daniel was silent, and the image of the pool of blood involuntarily surged in his mind.

If another accident happens, he might not be able to bear it anymore.

So, it is better to maintain the status quo, and then no accidents will come again.

As long as Olivia is safe, if she wants to leave, he can give her freedom.

Old Mr. Alexander looked at Daniel inscrutably, and said earnestly, “Daniel, you should see a psychologist. It’s not fair to Olivia that you don’t want children. I understand what you are worried about, accidents are hardly that coincidental, Olivia is so smart, so kind, she will certainly love children, she will definitely be a good mother.”

“How do you know it’s not possible if you don’t try?”

Daniel raised his eyes, looking sharply at his grandfather, “Are you watching us?”

A faint smile appeared on the corner of old Mr. Alexander’s mouth, shrewd as a fox.

“I’m worried about you two. Don’t mess up a good hand, only to regret it. I’m old now, really don’t know how much longer I can live. Each day is a bonus; but I do hope to see you happy, to see you settled down even when it is time for me to close my eyes forever.”

After a moment of contemplation, Daniel said: “I will carefully consider your suggestion.”
